Dogs can’t tell us when they aren’t feeling like themselves. That’s why there is Waggit, a collar that tracks your dog’s vitals, activity, location and more.

Waggit makes it easy and fun to stay in the know about your dog’s health, which can help extend your dog’s life, give you peace of mind, and also save on those costly vet bills.

Our dogs aren’t just pets. They’re part of the family. And when there’s something wrong, our dogs can’t exactly tell us. Not only that, dogs hide their pain, so it’s not always easy to tell that there’s a problem until it’s gotten really bad.

Waggit exists to strengthen bonds, prolong the lives of our fur babies, and to give pet parents peace of mind that comes with knowing their dogs’ well being is always top priority!

The Waggit collar is the smartest collar your dog will ever wear. Fully equipped with the latest health, activity, and location tracking technology, Waggit makes proactively managing your dog’s health and well being as easy as loving him!

When there’s a change in your dog’s key health indicators, you’re the first to know. Things like changes in body temperature and sleep patterns can be hard, if not impossible, to detect on your own. With Waggit, you’ll know if your dog needs medical attention early, which means a better chance of fixing a problem or managing pain faster, and potentially saving a lot on vet bills in the process.

Waggit learns what is “normal” for your dog. That way, it knows right away if something seems out of the ordinary vs. his norm.

Is your dog no longer lying on his right side, when that’s typically his favored position? Waggit will tell you. Knowing your dog's position trends will help you indicate potential health issues early, or if your dog is in pain.

Is your dog no longer sleeping as well as normal during the night, or less active than usual during the day? Waggit will alert you to significant changes in your dog’s sleep patterns and activity levels, which could also be signs of health issues, and allow you to send a report to your vet.

When the worst happens and your dog is lost, Waggit can help you find your fur baby again using the collar’s location tracker and built-in GPS. A virtual fence can also alert you when your dog goes outside the boundaries you’ve set, and ambient temperature alerts will let you know immediately if the temperature surrounding your pup is increasing (or decreasing) at a significant pace.

Track whether your dog gets enough activity on a daily basis, compare his activity time, distance and speed with that of similar dogs, and see Fido shine on the Waggit leaderboard.

Waggit introduces smart nutrition formulas, which track the burned calories based not only on your dog’s individual parameters, but on his individual activity record as well. If your dog has been significantly more or less active (and burned more or less calories) on any given day, you’ll want to adjust his food intake accordingly.

Whether you want Fido perfectly trained, or just not digging in the trash, the Waggit app comes complete with a training center and ultrasound speakers to help train your pup.

We believe that Waggit is going to completely change and improve the lives of dogs everywhere. With the support of passionate pet parent’s like yourselves, we can bring Waggit to a larger audience more quickly, and start improving and pro-longing the lives of our fur babies immediately!

If you didn’t win, please back and share our campaign (even for a dollar!) and help us prolong the lives and happiness of our fur babies. Thank you!
